Hi, I'm Sarah.
After 20+ years as a classroom teacher and instructional coach, I discovered something that changed everything:
Culture First. Behavior Second.
The classrooms that felt the strongest weren't built through better worksheets, more programs, or one more strategy.
They were built through stronger culture, stronger ownership, stronger expectations, and intentional teacher moves.
That's what we focus on inside Teach Like a TopTEN™.
